Recipe Ingredients
This easy waffles recipe uses simple ingredients you can easily find at any local grocery store. For the exact amounts and full instructions, scroll down to the recipe card.
- All-purpose flour: These can also be made with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Baking powder: Acts as a leavening agent and makes the waffles light and fluffy.
- Salt: Enhances the flavor.
- Light brown sugar: Adds sweetness and a slight caramel flavor. Granulated sugar is okay to use.
- 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese, softened: Adds creaminess and a slight tang. You can also use full fat cream cheese or sour cream.
- Eggs, separated: Yolks add richness, and beaten whites add fluffiness.
- Milk: You can also use almond milk, soy milk, or any milk alternative.
- Canola oil: Adds moisture and helps create a tender texture. Vegetable oil or melted butter are good alternatives.
- Pure vanilla extract: Adds flavor depth. For a different flavor profile, add almond extract instead.
- Cold heavy whipping cream: Creates a rich and fluffy topping.
- Honey: I use honey to sweeten the whipped cream but maple syrup or powdered sugar will also work.
- Toppings: I use fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
Serving Suggestions
To complete your breakfast or brunch, serve these tasty cream cheese waffles with an egg white frittata for some extra protein and a refreshing drink like my mimosa recipe.
Add a side of baked oatmeal for a hearty option and some banana walnut muffins for a sweet, nutty treat. This cream cheese waffles recipe is perfect for making your morning meal delicious and satisfying!

I haven’t made waffles in the longest time. May have to break that streak and start with these delicious sounding waffles.
Cake for breakfast always sounds good to me. I always enjoy a good waffle and this one certainly fits the bill.
